What Does BMD Stand For?
BMD stands for Bone Mineral Density
Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is a clinical measurement that assesses the amount of mineral content, primarily calcium, in a specific volume of bone. It is commonly used to evaluate bone strength and the risk of fractures, particularly in conditions such as osteoporosis. BMD testing typically employs dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to provide precise and reliable assessments, aiding in the diagnosis and management of bone health.
